The German tactician has now ruled himself out of the United job after being appointed England manager this week.
According to the Daily Mail, Brentford manager Thomas Frank is a candidate for the Red Devils should they decide to sack the Dutchman this season.
The report adds that Saturday's clash between United and Brentford is somewhat of an audition for Frank, who has done an impressive job since gaining promotion.
Frank, however, has defended Ten Hag ahead the clash at Old Trafford.
"Incredible the amount of scrutiny he faces – as a head coach we acknowledge how it is to be like this – clearly he's a good coach – when a team wins the head coach is great, but if a team lose then the head coach is s***," Frank said, as per Metro.
The Red Devils secured a late win over Brentford at Old Trafford last season thanks to a brace from Scott McTominay, who has since left the club.
